Al Ellis

Al is a longtime resident and community supporter who has lived in Coos Bay since he was in the first grade, graduating from Marshfield High School in 1963.

Al is a widely-recognized and respected community member through his work with the Les Schwab Tire Company. Having started his career with the former Stamper’s J and J Tire Co (which sold to Les Schwab) in 1962 while still in high school, Al through the years became the assistant manager at the Coos Bay store and managed the Coquille store for sixteen years where he was very active in community affairs. Al moved to North Bend in 1992 where he opened and managed the newest Bay Area Les Schwab store until his retirement in 2005.

With a proven track record in business as a manager at Les Schwab for over 30 years, as a community volunteer with a knowledge base of the citizenry far and wide, with a strong reputation when with Les Schwab for providing great customer service, and with his roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-to-work attitude, Al is a valuable addition to the ETPA Board.
